Tell us about yourself
I was working as a model agent at the time when I got the idea. My ex-boyfriend used to leave me cute sticky notes that would say things like, "I love you more than stars in the universe." I started leaving notes for him as well, like, "You make me want to shave my legs." I started compiling ideas for future notes on my phone. After he dumped me on a sticky note (yes, really), I took the ideas I had on my phone and turned them into cards.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Getting to seven figures.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
That you can never really be "off" like you can in a regular 9-5 job, the buck stops with you.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Do something you're passionate about so it doesn't feel like work, do the research and work--don't expect other people to figure it out for you.
